City & Place Guide

Remote fjord village where Iceland's raw wilderness meets the sea.

Breiðdalsvík is a tiny fishing village of roughly 150 people nestled at the head of Breiðdalur valley in Iceland's East Fjords region. Surrounded by colorful rhyolite mountains and the calm waters of Breiðdalsvik cove, it offers an unhurried glimpse of authentic rural Icelandic life far from the tourist crowds.

The area is prized for its dramatic geology, abundant birdlife, and pristine salmon rivers. Travelers passing through on the Ring Road often linger longer than planned, drawn in by the tranquil scenery and welcoming community atmosphere.

  • •Breiðdalur Valley — stunning drive through colorful volcanic mountains and open farmland.
  • •Breiðdalsá River — one of Iceland's finest salmon and sea-trout fishing rivers.
  • •Hotel Bláfell — historic local landmark and social hub with regional character.
  • •Breiðdalsvík Beach — quiet black-sand shore ideal for birdwatching and peaceful walks.
  • •Nearby Djúpivogur — charming neighboring village with the Eggin í Gleðivík egg sculptures.

Getting around: There is no rail service in Iceland; Strætó public bus route 15 connects Breiðdalsvík to Höfn and Egilsstaðir a few times weekly, but schedules are limited. Renting a car in Egilsstaðir (about 70 km away) is strongly recommended for flexibility. No taxis or rideshares operate locally.

Best time: Late June through August offers the best weather, long daylight hours, and fully open roads for exploring the surrounding highlands.

Local food: Sample freshly caught Arctic char and salmon at Hotel Bláfell's restaurant, and look for locally sourced lamb dishes reflecting the East Fjords' farming heritage.
